I wasn't thinking completely app wide. Was more thinking Gnome wide :) That
would make the link foot <-> menu a bit more consistent. IMHO also a good
idea not to make the 'foot' menu or tmfkap whatever to big a 'garbage
collector' for anything that didn't fit elsewhere.

Making the foot/app/prog/tmfkap entry more a 'gnome' entry would probably
make the design more consequent.
